For Principal · IQAC · NSS / NCC / Eco Club mentors

Unlock one patch. Students will run it.

Year 1 does not need a new budget line. It needs land security, a weekly mentor hour, and a letter to the Forest nursery.

1

Principal / Correspondent

Sign a 3–5 year hold on one plot. Ban dumping, grazing and burning there. Name one faculty owner.

2

IQAC / NAAC coordinator

File the baseline census, photo log and survival sheet under Criterion 7 / green campus evidence.

3

Faculty mentor

Walk the plot once a week. Keep the register honest. Stop the urge to “finish” by over-planting.

Institution checklist

Map this to NEP 2020 project-based learning and to student 4C skills: students survey, decide species, raise stock, and report survival — not just attend a planting hour.

Letter you can copy to the Forest Range Officer

Sir / Madam, Our institution is starting a Student-Managed Assisted Natural Regeneration (SMANR) patch as part of the Great Green Campus Wall. We request native saplings for gap-filling only — Neem, Pungam, Jamun, Vengai and Iluppai — after we have cleared invasives and protected existing seedlings. Kindly advise available stock and the procedure for an educational institution indent this season. Campus: Patch / village: Faculty contact:
